erode means to wear away slowly
Answer:
On a geologic map, if the contacts between sedimentary rock units form a bull’s-eye pattern of concentric circles, with the oldest unit in the center, the underlying structure is a syncline.
Answer:
the conversion of radiant energy into "hidden" form through the process of evaporation.
Explanation:
Latent heat is the heat which is stored in the molecular motion of any substance when it changes its state, Like from solid to liquid, solid to gas or liquid to gas. It is also known as hidden heat.
Example: when water changes its state from water to water vapor, water absorbs energy from the environment. This energy is stored in the molecular movement of water molecules.
On earth, latent heat is transferred when there is evaporation of water from moist land surface or any water body. This causes transfer of heat from earth surface to atmosphere.
Bases on the above definition of latent heat option B is the correct one.
The correct answer is - Seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridge provides the mechanism for tectonic plate movement.
Harry Hess is one of the people that is most important when it comes to the proving and world wide acceptance of the continental drift theory.
Hess was very interested in the topic, and he was constantly looking for clues that would bring light to it and finally have a definite proof of it. While sailing through the Atlantic and doing some examinations, Hess noticed that there high mountains in the water, having flat peaks, and being arranged in an interesting manner. These underwater mountains, named guyouts, were the highest at a certain point, and than on both sides, as the distance was increasing they were becoming smaller and smaller.
What Hess stumbled upon was the seafloor spreading and how it works, and he recognized that quickly. He immediately went on to share what he discovered, that there's magma coming from bellow, solidifying and spreading, thus creating new crust while pushing the old crust away from the center, which is the reason why the continents are moving.
